In this guide you will have to edit vmt files. I would recommend you to use the software to edit them. You can use text editor for that such as Atom, NotePad++, VIM and many other ones would work fine.
Locate your game folder and find this folder if you are on Origin:
Origin Games\Titanfall2\vpk\
Or this folder if you are on Steam:
Steam\steamapps\common\Titanfall2\vpk\
Copy these files and paste them in a backup folder somewhere else:
englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk
client_mp_common.bsp.pak000_000.vpk
You will need the Titanfall VPK Tool, the program which will allow you to open and repack Titanfall VPK files.
Now that these files have been backed up and everything installed. Navigate to your game folder and open this file:
Origin Games\Titanfall2\vpk\englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk
To edit the following weapon heat effect you need to find their .vmt files. Further in this guide you will find the different file locations and details about what modifications can be done.
For editing lstar heat effect, go to this location
\materials\models\weapons\lstar
Open the file lstar_heat_charge.vmt and refer to the different info provided
After following step by step the previous link
Rename pak000_000.vpk to client_mp_common.bsp.pak000_000.vpk
Rename pak000_dir.vpk to englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk
Place both of the renamed files back into your game directory and then launch Titanfall 2. You should be able to see your changes!
You can edit the heat color, more information about color and how to edit the way you like.
You can change the heat effect texture to any other texture in the game. Some texture would work, some wouldn't look good and some other texture would just not work. More info how to edit the texture value.
